ok i am trying to prime up my engine Coils unhooked inj fuses pulled and when i tried to start it a few days ago the pressure came up good on it just by the starter. then it would not come back

Today i pulled it down checked the O ring and even packed the oil pump full of vasaline then put it back together
ok then when i tried to prime it the pressure came up well i let it sit about 20 sec. and tried it again and nothing it will not pump any more
this is a almost brand new TSP ported LS6 with only about 300 miles on it
This thing has drove me to the point of going crazy not to mention i feel stupid because every time i get one thing fixed something else goes wrong

Im down to begging and even making some of my friends mad to the point they wont answer there phone when i call

SO please if you know of something to try please post it

when you took it down and checked the o-ring, did you check the pickup tube to make sure it was seated on the pump flush?.. what about the pickup tube's pickup.. did you check to make sure you have about 3/8" from the bottom of the pan ?.

Check the pump's bypass sping/valve, it could be stuck open.

What else did you change ?

ok i dug the old stock pump out of the scrap parts and cleaned it reinstalled it and wa la oil pressure so it was the pump

That really sucks. Sounds like the pressure relief on the pump was sticking.

the thing is the oil pressure droped on the last build i just thought it was the berrings turned loose but now i think more to the fact that the oil pump just played out i will be calling TSP tomorrow

Have you taken the pump apart to inspect it ?.. just wondering what is the problem... maybe post some picture of the housing and gears
